Chapter 55 Training, Obito and Kakashi
The next day, in the afternoon
"Ugh... my head hurts so much! Is this a side effect of excessive chakra consumption?" Rubbing his throbbing head, Ishikawa muttered as he got up to wash.
Last night, after possessing the carp, he took the opportunity to test his limits. The experiment showed that after controlling the carp to swim continuously for about twenty minutes, he reached his limit, and the spell automatically dispelled, allowing him to return to his original state.
If he goes with the flow to reduce his energy expenditure, Ishikawa is confident that he can maintain the possession for about an hour.
An hour may seem like a lot of time, but considering the need to conserve stamina and chakra during battle, Ishikawa's intelligence gathering time cannot exceed ten minutes at most.
In cases of high energy expenditure, the spell must be dispelled within three minutes at most.
Of course, this time will be extended as Ishikawa's strength and spiritualization technique increase, eventually transforming into a true S-rank spiritualization technique that can kill enemies with a soul over a thousand miles in an instant.
"Poor thing, you might be the first fish to drown." After washing up, Ishikawa looked at the dead fish lying belly up in the basin and mourned softly.
Because its soul collapsed and it turned into a plant-like fish, the carp drowned after Ishikawa possessed it and left, unable to breathe on its own.
Ishikawa was helpless about this, but he was mostly happy! This way, even if he was accidentally discovered, the enemy would not be able to obtain information about him from animals after he left.
Looking at the sky, Ishikawa grabbed his wallet and some soldier rations and headed out to Konoha's commercial district. After a quick lunch, Ishikawa immediately set off for the Forest of Death with some food.
Now that he had the native advantage of possessing an animal, Ishikawa naturally wanted to make use of it. The carp was just the first test subject, not the last.
To ensure the accuracy of intelligence gathering and his own safety, Ishikawa must collect and store suitable birds, beasts, fish, and insects to prepare for unforeseen circumstances, using the eagle's eyesight, the snake's infrared vision, the cat's agility, and the chameleon's camouflage.
If we don't act now, are we going to rely on luck with the birds and beasts nearby during the battle? Ishikawa isn't that stupid. Animals scatter at the slightest sound; how could they be so foolish as to wait for you to control them?
Besides, who knows if you might just happen to run into the animal you need.
Most importantly, Ishikawa needs to test the types of animals he can control. This is to avoid any unexpected problems during actual combat! After all, even among animals, the spiritual power of a rat or crow is vastly different from that of a black bear or tiger…
"Let's stop here. Going too deep is unnecessary and might cause trouble." Looking at the dense, shadowy forest, Ishikawa crawled into a tree hole to take precautions.
Once he activates the Spirit Transformation Technique, he will detach from his physical body, so he must be well-prepared. If it weren't for the abundance of birds, beasts, fish, and insects here, which would minimize the chance of being spied on, Ishikawa would not have risked infiltrating the Forest of Death.
After looking around, Ishikawa quickly set his sights on a bird. With the strength of an elite genin, catching a bird was a piece of cake.
'Spiritualization Technique...'
Soon, a wisp of white-blue light rose from the tree hole, which was surrounded by traps, and disappeared in an instant, attracting little attention in the dark Death Forest.
The next second, a brown bird wobbled and took off from the tree hole and soared into the sky.
[Awesome!! Is this what flying feels like? I'm as free as a bird...] As I rushed out of the forest, Ishikawa looked down at the boundless Forest of Death and the map of Konoha and was filled with boundless pride.
After flapping his wings for a moment, Ishikawa reluctantly landed on a tree to dispel the spell. Although he had prepared rations, he had to hurry to avoid overexerting himself and passing out.
Almost the instant the spell was dispelled, a thin blue light shot out of the bird's body with lightning speed and into the tree hole.
The next instant, Ishikawa regained consciousness and immediately swallowed the soldier's ration pill in his mouth to restore his chakra.
Well, how should I put it! This stuff really is as hard to swallow as the rumors say. Didn't that idiot boss know to add some other flavors??
"Continue." After a ten-minute break, Ishikawa immediately regrouped and focused his attention on a giant python.
If you're going to play, play big!
While Ishikawa was training like crazy, Minato's team in another world was also officially participating in the Chunin Exams.
"Damn it, why is it a written exam?!" At the written exam site, Obito, who was full of pride and high spirits, was happy for less than three seconds before he was so frightened by the exam content that he turned pale and became incoherent.
What to do? He was determined to pass the exam in one fell swoop to show Kakashi how powerful he was, and at the same time make the goddess Nohara Rin look at him with new eyes!
I never expected the Chunin Exams to include a written test! This is outrageous!!
Are they really going to compete with the enemy in terms of knowledge on the battlefield? I really don't know what the Hokage was thinking...
"Examiner, I'm handing in my paper." Just as Obito was feeling tormented by the exam questions that seemed like gibberish, Kakashi's nonchalant voice instantly broke his defenses and sent his anxiety soaring to the maximum.
"Damn Kakashi, I will never lose to you!" Obito roared indignantly, then immediately lowered his head to prepare to write furiously.
Can……
"I really don't know how (????????? )" Obito trembled, almost crying. His resentment, helplessness, and jealousy drove him crazy.
Just as Obito was on the verge of a breakdown from anxiety, Rin Nohara walked past him, and a wad of paper silently landed on his desk.
"Rin..." Upon seeing this, Obito immediately recognized what it was and clutched the crumpled paper tightly as if grasping at a lifeline, his eyes reddening with gratitude.
Sure enough, that bastard Kakashi is nowhere near as cute, gentle, and caring as Rin!
What kind of bullshit genius ninja is he? He's selfish and has absolutely no team spirit.
"Rin, I promise I won't let you down." Nodding with a sob in his voice, Obito immediately and carefully unfolded the crumpled paper and began to copy it.
[Ishikawa said I'll pass the Chunin Exams this time, so Obito should too! But these two don't get along right now, how can I strengthen their relationship and get them to accept each other sooner...] Walking out of the classroom, Nohara Rin looked at Kakashi leaning against the window and thought to herself with a troubled expression.
She didn't want the two of them to only cherish each other during the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, by which time it would be too late!
"Kakashi, how about we go have a celebratory dinner with Minato-sensei after Obito comes out?" After a moment of hesitation, Rin Nohara decided to start strengthening team spirit from today.
We'll have Minato bring his girlfriend Kushina along. That older sister is a friendly and outgoing female ninja who'll definitely play a key role!
Perfect timing, she'd also like to ask Minato-sensei if he had any advanced sealing techniques for sealing the brain...
"Celebrate? Do you really think Obito will get through easily??" Kakashi raised his dead fish eyes and spoke coldly and venomously, not thinking that this celebration was meaningful at all.
"Kakashi!!" Upon hearing this, Obito, who had just walked out of the classroom in high spirits, was furious. This guy dared to disrespect Rin and looked down on him.
It’s so disgusting ヽ(｀⌒′メ)ノ
"Do you think someone like you, who's a complete failure, can pass the written test? You probably can't even answer a single question!" Kakashi retorted with disdain, which immediately enraged Obito, who rolled up his sleeves and was ready to fight.
"Stop arguing, you two! Come with me..." Seeing this, Nohara Rin quickly stepped forward and scolded them, grabbing one of them with each hand and rushing out of the corridor.
